My password? Chocolate, guv.

71% of Londoners accosted in the street divulged their passwords for a bar of chocolate, according to a survey done by an IT security group hoping for precisely that alarmist outcome.

My own conclusion from this research: 29% of Londoners are decent folk not willing to take advantage of gullible researchers; and a whopping 71% of Londoners will gladly lie to strangers for food. Also, 100% of the researchers in this survey should be ashamed of themselves.
